Step-by-Step Process

Prepare the Fruits:
Wash all fruits thoroughly. Slice the watermelon, pineapple, and cantaloupe into thin, flat pieces that can be easily cut with cookie cutters.

Cut Out Easter Shapes:
Use small cookie cutters to cut the fruit slices into Easter-themed shapes like bunnies, eggs, and chicks. Set aside the shaped pieces.

Repeat the Process:
Continue assembling the kabobs until you’ve used all the fruit pieces. Make sure each skewer is evenly filled with a variety of fruits.

Chill Before Serving:
Place the completed kabobs on a platter and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
